Escape From The Maze

A party-based, first-person, fantasy CRPG with phased combat, class-based character progression, and programmer-art. I called it "old school" until the term got trendy. It started inspired by Wizardry VII and the lack of a free open source alternative. Today we are living in the indie revolution and there are far more influences, but the game still clearly shows its Wizardry lineage. It's playable end to end, but there is a lot more to do before it's done. This blog tracks that work.

20%

Five classes down, twenty to go. Give or take a few straggler level abilities.

Highlights for October include

Blackguard abilities: Finisher, Bloodthirsty, Notoriety, Terrifying Reputation
Burglar abilities: Pickpocket, Nondescript, Dirty Attack, Danger Sense, Sap, Quick Wits, Disable, Trap Sense
Shared abilities: Threaten, Code of Honour, Code of Dishonour, Hide, Bribe, Dodge, Backstab, Snipe, Riposte

Small pieces of measurable progress have been fun, but a bit same-y. The nature of the repetition won't change - every class has it's unique thingums that will need to be implemented.

So I'm taking a quick divert from this class-ability stuff. Time for some creative writing, a few UI tweaks, some bugfixes, etc.
